The Olive Ridley turtles thrive on the coast of Orissa in India. However, the Bay of Bengal and the beaches of Orissa have become virtual death traps for these animals. Nearly 3,000 of them die every year on these beaches.
The Sea Turtle Protection Force has released at least 28,000 turtles over the past six years.
